The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1627 Peace Offering

With his task accomplished, and his apology gift in hand, Karl returned himself to the Tiny World the moment that he was back in his apartment.

He could have done it from in the middle of the city, but that would risk revealing the presence and location of the separate space to others. With so many resources, and most or the residents still mortals, that was not a good idea.

Some things were universal, and the need to have the strength to defend any resources that you claimed was just as true here as it was in the Zilaz region with their dungeons.

The Elderʼs talk of finding resources and hidden spaces out in the wilderness around the city did intrigue Karl, though.

Once he had everyone settled, and knew that Tessaʼs eggs were going to be fine, he would see if the others wanted to come out for an adventure with him. Small groups often wandered the wilderness, unlike the larger groups that went to visit known trial grounds and hidden resources.

Alone, they would have a good chance of finding something necessary, given their level of luck bonus from the System.

That alone would make it worth the trip.

But it also came with a chance to explore the region and gather local plants. The magical plants of the Immortal World were necessary to the development of new alchemy recipes, and the growth of their beasts.

Getting Immortal Rank food was the fastest way to push the beastsʼ power higher.

Once he could finally start on the road of ascendance, when the true power of an Immortal began to stack, instead of working through the smaller power increases of the first few foundational steps, then Karl would be confident that he could protect his people.

His first stop inside the space was Tessaʼs room, where he could hear her and Thor chatting with someone.

She didnʼt sound murderous, so Karl came in with his peace offering in hand. ”For you, congratulations on five happy healthy eggs.” He explained.

Tessa laughed and shook her head when she saw the label on the case.

”You really brought back a whole case of high-end chocolates from the Immortal Realm?”

Karl smiled at her confused expression. ”I asked what would be appropriate, and this is what the green dragon at the counter came up with.”

Tessa rolled her eyes. ”Of course, the green dragon saw sweets as the appropriate answer to everything. She wasnʼt wrong though, these smell absolutely delicious.

Is that what had you away half the morning?”

Karl shook his head. ”No, I had to help an Elder for a bit. She had a daughter that wanted to awaken a special class to bond with a Divine Cat type beast that she had acquired.

She already knew that I had the skill for it, based on the class that I have, so she came and found me at the warehouse while I was getting chocolates.”

”Understandable. You have some very useful skills for helping children advance. It is a bit concerning that someone actually knew that you had the ability, though.

Isnʼt that the sort of thing that should be private?”

Karl shrugged. ”She knew what was in the Skill Tree. So, presumably she has either met one before, or she had done significant research.

The skill trees of most classes are known if you know where to look.”

”That is true. Fortunately for me, I have a few more weeks before I have to worry about what classes my little ones are going to want. Though, if they mature at a normal rate, and not a beast space enhanced rate, I might have years.”

Karl nodded. ”It would be a shame to steal the joy of a new mother from them.” Thor smiled. ”Yep, hatchlings are too adorable to want them to grow up. Look how cute Tian is, and heʼs already started to grow up.”

Of course, even fully grown, Tianʼs species was not large. At best, he would get a bit larger than Cara was, but more slender with longer legs. Not a huge and imposing species, even when they were incredibly powerful.

None of Tessaʼs offspring from this clutch would be smol and fluffy.

”Hey Fee, can you have Lotus bring up some snacks? Actually, we should go downstairs. We can eat at the table like civilized people, and I can lock the room to keep troublemakers out.”

Karl considered telling her that it wouldnʼt help.

Cara and Remi both knew the trick to entering wherever in the Tiny World that they wanted. So, they could bounce into the locked room, cause chaos, and then retreat to their space.

They might have to wait until Thor was asleep, though. He would catch them immediately if they tried to mess with his herd.

Someone knocking at the door to their apartment caught Karlʼs attention. Rather, it caught the attention of the Gargoyles in the apartment, and they notified him that someone was at the door.

”I will be right back, someone is knocking at the apartment door. I should go greet the guests, or tell them to go away.”

”Youʼre popular. We understand. We will save you something from lunch.” Tessa advised him.

”Find my Dana Mage, Iʼm sure that sheʼs hungry by now.”

Karl left the Tiny World and straightened his clothes to greet whoever their

guest was as the badger Gargoyles opened the door for their guest.

The Elder from earlier in the day entered with a scowl on her face and a smug looking cat in her hands.

”Ah, Elder. Good day, what brings you here? I assume itʼs something to do with Shade, as you brought him along”

”The cat has abducted my children.”

The absolute smugness on the catʼs face said that she was telling the absolute

truth, and that he regretted nothing.

”And you want me to get them back out of the Villa Stone?” Karl asked, verifying

the situation.

”If it wouldnʼt cause a backlash, I would get rid of this brat and have Anilla bond a better behaved Moor Cat,” she grumbled.

”Youʼve done it now. Sheʼs ready to turn you into wolf chow on day one. Is there some reason that everyone is in the Villa when theyʼre supposed to be studying?” Karl asked the cat.

{They are studying. And hiding from their mother.}
